Jacob Chansley, a self-proclaimed “shaman” adhering to the conspiracy theories of QAnon, was arrested days after the fact. Facing up to 20 years in prison, he pleaded guilty to trespassing and violent conduct in early September in federal court in Washington.

His lawyer, citing “his sincere remorse”, his psychological problems and the 317 days of detention, requested the “compassion of the court” to impose a “much lighter” sentence on his client.

Armed with a spear, shirtless and wearing a headdress of buffalo horns, Chansley, a 30-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, participated in the invasion with hundreds of Donald Trump supporters to prevent lawmakers from validating the victory of Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential election.

Another attacker, Scott Fairlamb of New Jersey, was sentenced Wednesday to 41 months in prison for his involvement in the attack and assaulting a police officer, the harshest sentence ever handed down against the nearly 660 people charged.

Fairlamb pleaded guilty in August.

In a document released Tuesday night, the prosecution indicated that Jacob Chansley had, “long before the events of January 6”, encouraged on social networks to “denounce politicians, the media and the corrupt electoral system.”

On the day of the attack, he “incited other rioters” and “left a threatening message” against Vice President Mike Pence, he added.

Chansley “He accepted responsibility for his conduct and agreed to cooperate with the authorities,” but “these acts pale in comparison to the lack of respect that the defendant has shown for the law and for (the) democracy,” the document outlines.

A total of 658 people were charged to varying degrees for their involvement in the deadly assault, according to the George Washington University Extremism Research Program.

Five people were killed during or shortly after the attack, including a police officer and a protester killed by an officer inside the building.

In addition, two policemen committed suicide in the days and weeks that followed, without establishing a direct link to the events.
